Exactly smalltownman. To pay for the total waste of the past republican nightmare we will have to keep passing out those $100 bills every second for over 1,000 years. ¥

Oh, and I forgot one other major expense of the reign of George II; "You're doing a heckuvajob Brownie" How much taxpayer money went toward the Katrina clean up debacle???

These people are very good at cooking the books!

Show me the books from the reigns of King George I & II Let me give you a brief refresher; "read my lips, no new taxes" and "Weapons Of Mass Destruction" followed by "Mission Accomplished". Now tell me their books weren't cooked.

With 1.4 trillion dollars you could hand someone a $100 bill every second for the next 443 years.

Something is in the works to replace Saturday Night Live These democrats are comedy around the clock, seven days a week No need to wait for a laugh on Saturday, just read their threads and let it rip, I know I will

I'm going to eat my beans. May have to fix a chunk of corn bread to go with it. And some chow-chow will make the beans better. Wish I had a tall glass of buttermilk.

I can just hear the younger people saying.."Yuk" As for me I am saying "Yum-m-m." So glad I like beans!

They can blow all the smoke they want. Until you see people getting jobs things are bad. Poor old people come on here wanting decent jobs and there's no where to work around here with any benefits.

THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE FAILED IS THE CRACK HEADED SELF RIGHTEOUS WHITE RIGHT......

The fate of President Obama's signature healthcare law may turn on a forthcoming ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, but a new report by the Congressional Budget Office finds that, if left untouched, the Affordable Care Act is poised to become even more so.

Obamacare, as it is commonly known, will cost 20 percent less than previously projected over the next decade, the CBO said Monday. The reason for the revised estimate is a result of a decline of healthcare inflation, the Los Angeles Times reported. In addition, the number of uninsured Americans has fallen by 12 million, the CBO estimates, and an additional 12 million are expected to gain insurance by the end of 2016.

Through 2019, the law's insurance provisions will cost an estimated $571 billion, down $139 billion from the

CBO's initial estimates.

The news is not all good, however. By the year 2025, the CBO estimated that 31 million people would still not have health insurance. Based on higher than expected enrollment numbers, Medicaid will also cost the federal government $59 billion more than previously forecast over the coming decade, the CBO said.

Yeah liberals are just as truthful and wonderful as their "liar in chief".

That's the second big laugh you've given me today kenc. The other was on the 'where's fin" thread.
